LOL. I feel you man. When ever I get something new I usually just tell the woman "It makes a different kind of noise the other ones don't!". I've not heard of some of those pieces of gear...I'll have to look them up.

Also going to check out American Music Supply. Zzounds 4 payment plan (8 on some things) involves no credit check. But they auto deduct from a credit or debit card.
